Marlin & Nemo

This movie is called Finding Nemo, but it could just as easily be called Marlin Finding Himself. These are our main fish, and we follow them for nearly ever second of the film.

We know right from the start that the relationship between this father and son is not going well, but it's still a shock when they get separated. Marlin travels across the ocean to find his son, and even Nemo braves the furious fan of the filter to get out of his fish tank. These two guys are loving, brave, and determined to find each other. And if that's not hero material, we're not sure what is.
